You should take a trip to Krakow!!! By far one of the coolest places in Poland. My sister-in-law’s family own and run the Krakow School of Art and Design there. An incredible place to learn and a fascinating city to visit!

Wow, it’s so good news to all Polish.
Unfortunately I don’t know Poznań at all…. There is old city worth to see it, but other interesting pubs, restaurants, places, you will get know for sure as you will have very good city guides (I hope you will have :)))

I have your books, i love your blog. You are photo champion, you know how to show human style and emotions. You know how to find beauty where at a glance there is nothing to show, you know how to highlight the strenghts hidden under dark side.
I owe you the new attitude to fashion.
Despite my love to art and fashion I still work in corporation, have not run away yet to real word, but I think that this decision is closer and closer ….

Oh, there are so many extraordinary places in Kiev…Been living there for almost 6 years, I still discover something new about this city every day. And you’re lucky that it’s autumn now as Kiev gets twice more magical when autumn comes!!!
And, indeed, the women are amazingly beautiful and charming there!!! Be aware! :)

Looking forward to you in Kyiv! Must visit places:
- Andriivskyi Uzviz (a very wonderful historic district).
-Kult Ra to taste admirable Kyiv Rus cuisine and chat with the most friendly waiters.
-Art Club 44 to hear some local bands.

When it comes to Poznan, you wouldn’t regret visiting Jadalnia on Grunwaldzka Street. Also Taczaka 20 is a place that attracts mainly young and well-dressed people. It’s a pleasure to eat there a piece of delicious cake.

+1 to Andriyivskyi uzviz & Kontraktova square. Its a place for artists and students. And its better to go there during the weekend. Pejzazna alleya – is a funny place to see, favourite place for Kyiv-ers. Hope you ll have fun there!

I agree with Olga there, you MUST visit Andriivskyi Uzviz! Also the Khreschatyk neighbourhood is beautiful as well. If you have time, take a look at the churches too (like the Holy Sophia Cathedral). That being said, just wandering through the city will permit plenty of photo opportunities. Kyiv is a beautiful city, I think you’ll really like it.

Scott, make sure to stay for HUSH Warsaw show in Stary Browar in Poznan, see the vibrant, independent Polish designers HUSH Warsaw represent and I’m sure you will meet a great amount of people with individual style, who came for a bit of inspiration or to find a perfect bargain. Polish young unassuming, ethical, street inspired fashion is thriving. And God, Polish ladies can be uber cool!http://www.hushwarsaw.com/projektanci.html

for unbeatable people-watching,
– the chess park in front of the Red Building of Kyiv State University;
– the square in front of Kyiv Mohyla University, and any of the coffee shops in the vicinity, in the Podil neighborhood;
– the paths of the wooded park behind St. Michael’s Cathedral, towards Ukraine House (Ukrainskiy Dim);
– Khreshchatyk, the main drag;
– the Botanical Gardens next to Metro Universitetskaya.

for real life,
– Zhitiny Rynok (Zhitniy Market) in Podil neighborhood (you can also score a fabulous fur hat on the second floor);
– the metro, especially Metro Station Zolotie Vorota (Golden Gates; again, not kidding, even just to walk through).

I’m not there now; so very jealous you get to go to Kyiv in the autumn.

In Kiev all the area around the Passage and Horodetskoho street (Restaurant Fellini) but also on the hill on the other side of the Khreshchatyk next to Hyatt and Intercontinental Hotel. There are some amazing churches and palaces. Girls in Kiev are outstanding.

The scarves. They are the treasure of the Ukraine. Originating from folklore they have a history – you can find cheap copies and handmade silk and wool samples. It is like this is where D&C get their inspiration and gain all credit. When ever any of my friends go this direction, I always ask them to bring me some. The sizes vary from huge to small and can be used from interior to street wear.

In Poznan:
- Art Stations Gallery in Stary Browar- always something interesting to check out
-Centrum Kultury Zamek- amazing building, the combination of old and new architecture, place of many culture events such as concerts, film screenings and there’ s a great bookstore and restaurant inside too (st.martin’s street-the very centre of the city)
-of course Old City and famous wooden goats that beat their heads at 12 pm
-Malta lake and everything around (sports centres, shopping mall, swimming pools, and more)
-of course many theatres and museums (with famous National Museum in Poznań with many great paintings)
-City Park Poznan- it’s a complex of barracks in which u can find apartments, hotel, shops, officess and restaurants but the architecture is breath-taking
and many many more. It depends on what ur actually looking for.
Hope it helps :)
Have a good time in Poland.

I like Garbary district in Poznan, some beautiful postindustrial buildings. You may want to check out “Stara Rzeźnia” (Old Butchery) club https://www.facebook.com/stararzeznia
There’re some nice green spaces for walking around and relaxing – Citadel park (beautiful especially now in October), Warta river walk. Depends what you actually like.
Poznan is quite small so you’ll be able to see a lot just walking around. Enjoy :)

Welcome to Kiev!
I bet you will definately like our beautiful city and our people. We have a lot of cool places and cool people. Historical city center is very compact and you can definately go by foot around it and enjoy every single corner of it!
We cant wait to see Ukrainian people in your blog.

First of all, you should visit our capital city, Warsaw! It’s full of colour people, that aren’t afraid of showing their individual style :) and so many unusual places to see.
It would be honour to be your private guide :)

I just came back from my native Ukraine last month.
I highly recommend checking out this new atelier -boutique “Otaman”.
They concentrate mainly on menswear in traditional Kozak’s style( however, it is modernized a bit). They also can customize things for you.
It is located downtown. Here is the website:http://www.otaman.org.ua
Enjoy your trip

Poznan? Unfortunately it is becoming one of the dullest cities in Poland, although Poznan Marathon (which is taking place this Sunday) is something that livens the place up a little. Apart from that – I am drawing a blank. Warsaw, Wroclaw – so much more captivating!

I do recomend in Poznan:
- SPOT (great place – restaurant, city SPA and boutique…)
- Kisielice (great pub/club on Taczaka street)
- Dragon (great place for polish bear or drink… old town)
- Malta Lake (especially on Sunday 13th October when the Poznan Marathon starts)
- CK Zamek
- Meskalina (pub in the middle of the old town)
- Sołacz (beautifull, old dictrict in Poznań with amazing old park)

Poznań:
- Sołacz with villas from 1920′s
- three old districts with Poznan Jugenstill: Jeżyce (which is the most trendy district right now), Wilda and Łazarz – all of them provide with daily farmers markets

Looks like, you got a full tourist bag for Kiev :) I will add just one thing. By simply walking along the beautiful streets of Kiev surrounded by old European architecture, you will admire and experience Ukrainian culture in its full beauty.

So great to have you in Poznan again! This time you definetely should visit the Citadel park with lovely set of Abakanowicz sculptures – very picturesque and Sołacz – old district with villas from the 20′.

… Be sure you drop by to Warsaw, there are cafes and restaurants world-class and the people who will surprise you with a sense of style. I love your photos and the way you show us not only clothes but also the people, their style and even the soul … I love it!
I invite you to Warsaw!!!

Wilson Park in Poznan is amazing, there’s a Palm House there which is pretty incredible. Also if you’re not confused by the animals living in cages and the wheather is good then the New Zoo in the middle of the forest is a huge place and beside all the animals it’s simply a beatiful space. Maybe you could even get there by a little narrow gauge train called Maltanka. It’s connected with the Malta Lake in the middle of the city, people mentioned it above. You might like the Gołębnik (Dovecote), it’s a caffeteria situated in a most beautiful old town house on Wozna 9 street.

Most interesting places in Kiyv, which are really genuine, are not situated in the city center. Sometimes when I walk around Kyiv suburbs I regret I am not a streetstyle photographer as I see marvelous examples of style every single day and unfortunately I don’t always have a chance to take a picture.
What about churches – you’ll see them anyway (including macabre catacombs where people kiss 1000 years old ashes), they are everywhere and each one resembles another.

How amazing that you will be in Ukraine! Great to know your putting us on your map of Fashionable places! Can’t advise much about Kiev, as I’m from Zaporozhye, but all I know it is very beautiful and historical! So probably, I will plan to visit Kiev for a thorough tour, after I have seen what places u visited! Have fun! :*

My partner is from Kyiv, and I recently went to visit his home city. For me being from the UK i didn’t know what to expect, but the old part of the city is really beautiful, and majestic. We are both huge fans of the arts and so he was sure to take me to Pinchuk…i recommend a visit. If you want to see beautiful, elegantly dressed women, go to the National Opera House….it’s full of them! We are both dancers ourselves, and so it’s an obvious night out for us, but if you have time you could also try to catch one of the Virsky National Folk Dance shows. They are so popular that they mostly perform elsewhere nowadays, but on occasions they still perform in Kyiv. They are uniquely bold, and have amazing strength and vigour, the atmosphere in the audiences is great too, and perhaps some of their costumes could lend a vision into some of the more traditional Ukranian fashion ideas!

In Poznan You should visit Taczaka 20 (small cafe) – it was mentioned by someone already but it’s really worth to go especially that is close to the Stary Browar where Art and Fashion Festival is taking place. And one more place Yeżyce Kuchnia – nicely designed place with great food located in the best district of Poznan. And for the record if I had to choose one of those two I would visit Yezyce Kuchnia. Have a nice stay.

i love following up on the your choice of street styles across the world especially in nyc, paris and milan. how about checking out vienna? there’s going to be a cool arts/design selling show (FESCH’MARKT) coming up november 15th to 17th. It’s worth stopping by as the queue is alway full of exiting personalities, not to mention the stuff being sold!

- Pejzazhna alleya is very cute place! Especially Large Blue Cats Sculptures!
- After Maidan Nezalegnosti and Kreshatik (center of the city) you should definitely go to Institutskaya street – there are beautiful National Bank and House with Chimaeras – it is really fantastic!!
- Andriyivskyy Descent is a must! It is Montmartre of Kiev :)
- Pinchuk Art Center is just cool and funky!

I hope you will have a great time here! Can’t wait to see the pictures!

Great to hear that you are back in Poznan!
I would recommend you to visit Jezyce -old neighbourhood that is regaining its fresh spirit. Great place to grab a snack and meet up the creative bunch of people. Taczaka street that gets its inspiration from Berlin, and much more… You can have a look at the list of my spots in Poznan https://foursquare.com/user/13116811/list/my-poznan-best

You should visit Łódź (Lodz) in Poland – really great post-industrial locations, loads of Polish designers come from here (the art school has fashion design department) and this is where Fashion Week Poland happens – not to mention the fact that Łódź was the centre of the textile industry in Poland!
